Bridging Distances and Differences Through Creative Collaboration

The mission of the Helen Foster Snow Foundation is to preserve, promote, and continue Helen's legacy of building bridges of understanding between China and the rest of the world. We facilitate people-to-people exchange through culture and education, business and trade, and sub-national relations.

Our vision is that by continuing Helen’s legacy, the relationship between the U.S. and China will become one of increased mutual respect and cooperation. We act like a teahouse where people with different viewpoints can have open and practical dialogue in a neutral and inviting environment. Through our activities and programs, we create mutually beneficial outcomes.

Gung Ho Programs
